A little coitus interruptus today as sand can be a nasty little bugger while bumping uglies on the beach. And I’m going to kill off yet another set of Disney characters as I continue my wrath of revenge on Disney for traumatizing me as a wee lad by killing Bambi’s mom. Cried for hours, man. Of course, I was like 6 or 7, but still remember it vividly to this day. So, if you have a favorite Disney character, beware, I’ll be knocking them off slowly as the comic progresses. Also, this is to see if Disney will actually step in and send me a cease and desist letter. I’d love that. 🙂
Depending on your age, you will either immediately recognize today’s song, or you’ll go “What the hell is that?” The Hollies are a forgotten ’60s group that had Graham Nash (of Crosby, Stills and Nash) and Alan Clarke, most notable for his work on 1977’s “I Robot” by the Alan Parsons Project. The Hollies had some 30 songs that hit the charts in the UK and the USA, but this one from 1966 (!) is a fun toe-tapper and a great title for today’s action.
Hunting for Pumbaa.
I guess the question here is, who can out-fart the other?
Don’t get ahead of the class now… 🙂
Mood killer.
Seriously. 🙂
Lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff…..
My favorite song on that album. 🙂
I’d love to see more of this…Also I’m noticing that Robin’s shirt just got smaller. And I’m not complaining.
Well, when your shirt is already torn and raggedy, it’s bound to shrink. 🙂
Also, she has her arms raised (she’s putting her top back on) and that helps shorten it as well.
Ouch. Brings a whole new dimension to Belinda Carlisle’s ballad “Circle in the Sand”….

Oops! That particular link is blocked in the USA it seems, but I did find the song. I don’t remember this song, but yes, the lyrics are on target for today’s comic. But, in practical terms, doing the horizontal bop on the beach is not all it’s made out to be… especially with no beach towel. 🙂
There is this, from the late 1970’s… from the Strangler’s infamous Battersea Park gig (the one where they got a bunch of strippers on stage to liven the gig up, though it wasn’t this track, you want, if memory serves, “Nice ‘n’ Sleazy” for that)
The Stranglers performing their beach-and-sand-and-sex anthem “Peaches”. Enjoy.
Forgot to add link. The Stranglers. Peaches. Live. Late 1970’s. enjoy.

Saw your link over on Facebook too. 🙂
Way a go Bud. 🙂
Yep. 1977 has been very , very good to Bud so far. 🙂
By the way, what’s so forgotten about the Hollies? In their [Nash-less] 1970s, they had several more hits, including “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress,” probably the best proto-Creedence imitation there was…
Well, I get two reactions when I mention groups of the ’70s and ’60s. One is a total blank stare, or two, an immediate acknowledgement they recognize the group.
The Hollies, I have found, are in the blank stare category more times than not. I have followed them for years and have several albums by them, including the one with “Long Cool Woman”. You fall into the category of knowing the group! 🙂
Well, I’m old enough to have lived through the 1970s and listen to all the music—though if anybody in my social circle acted like these guys, they sure kept it to themselves…
Well, most of the bands I was involved with, we were always trying to get the girls to go out with us. Sadly, I never had Bud’s luck. 🙂
Bite the pillow, i’m going in dry.
Should’ve been doing it in the water.
LOL! I can always count on a good reply from you! Salt water? Ouch. I don’t know about that. 🙂
How do you make a hormone. Put sand in her lube. “rimshot”
Talking Heads had a compilation album called “Sand in the Vaseline” which semi-influenced today’s comic. 🙂
I thought a shop vac would be a compliment!
Me too. 🙂
The Hollies were fun, but couldn’t make that late 60s leap into the kind of daring experimental stuff that The Beatles, The Who, or the Rolling Stones made. Probably why they’re largely forgotten now, though a number of their songs can get a “yeah, I remember that tune — who did it?” reaction.
IIRC, Graham Nash left in frustration after the Hollies decided not to do “Marrakesh Express.” Not certain of that, though. I flipped through Nash’s autobiography in a bookstore once, but I don’t remember a lot of details.
Well, having older sisters, I actually remember more about the ’60s music then the ’70s as I wasn’t drunk and/or stoned in the ’60s.
I liked the Hollies. They had that Pop/British sound that went over well here in the USA. By the time “Long Cool Woman” came along, I was well into acts like Deep Purple, Zeppelin and Sabbath, so their sound wore thin with me (and others). Today, I have their greatest hits collections and they get their fair share of rotation in my play lists.
They aren’t Rock and Roll legends, but worthy of remembering all the same.
Thought it was “Judy Blue-Eyes”—and, personally, if the other Hollies turned it down, I can’t blame them.
Never was a CSN or CSN&Y fan at all. Not my cup of tea.
Wait 20 years kids, that sand blaster feeling will return, sand not required! [chafe]
LOL! Yeah, that’s why they invented lube. I keep a grease zerk gun next to our bed. 🙂
So . . wait . . Robyn would be the ONE woman I’d think wouldn’t have a problem being compared to power tools . . LOL
LOL! This is true. I guess she’s caught up in the moment. 🙂 I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time she’s having sex with someone…
LOL – oh God, what insanity have I sparked in your imagination?!
belt sander was a funny joke!
